Chapter 822 Anger
The people inside were speaking very quietly, and there was a wall between them, so she couldn't make out what they were saying.
A moment later, Grandpa suddenly erupted, "I'm not dead yet! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to wipe us all out?"
Hearing this, their hearts pounded.
The old man is usually very approachable; even when he gets angry with his children and grandchildren, he's not like this.
His furious roar at that moment was like that of a mountain lord that had been lying in wait for a long time, each sound having a strong penetrating power.
After a few breaths, Lin Yuyao asked in a low voice, "What happened that made Grandpa so angry? Is it... is it about your brother?"
Fu Yatong said in a low voice, "It seems so."
This group of people fighting each other could kill people; Lin Yuyao felt like she was about to stop breathing.
She tried to calm herself down, and then frantically tried to recall her memories of Fu Huaiyi from her past life.
However, I couldn't remember it even after thinking for a long time.
She and Lu Jiangting didn't have a good ending, and she didn't live with him for a long time, so how could she know about his colleagues?
It was just a coincidence that I saw Yi Yunshuo again later.
The meeting in the living room was over. The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's leave it at that. I'll go there myself."
Old Xu felt a pang of sadness. "Old Commander, you're getting on in years, I..."
"Alright, enough nonsense, let's go."
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning?"
"Ah."
Minister Xu and his men left, and only then did Fu Yatong and Lin Yuyao come out.
"Grandpa, is something wrong with my eldest brother?"
The old man looked up at her, then at Lin Yuyao, whose face was pale.
He took a deep breath and gave a warm smile. "What could possibly happen? It's nothing, just kids fighting. I'll go beat him up and bring him back."
Fu Yatong: "Why would my older brother get into a fight? He's a father now, not a child anymore."
The old man's face darkened, and his tone became unfriendly, "To me, no matter how old they are, they're still children. If I say it's children fighting, then it's children fighting."
Fu Yatong: "..."
The old man looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "Yuyao, it's nothing serious. She just had a fight with a former classmate."
Lin Yuyao also tried her best to force a smile, "Really, he's a father himself and he still makes Grandpa worry. When Grandpa gets over there... he'll teach him a lesson."
"Haha, of course, don't worry about it."
They tacitly avoided making a serious statement about it, as if it were just children playing around.
However, Minister Xu couldn't handle any of the pranks, so he had to ask the old man for help.
You should know that Minister Xu is from Kyoto; his family is involved in politics, and he has connections in Kyoto.
Furthermore, the fact that he didn't report it to his superiors but instead asked the old man for help indicates that it wasn't a work-related conflict but rather a personal matter, and that the other party had a significant background.
Fu Huaiyi has always been in the southern city, and this should be his first time going to the capital. He shouldn't have any enemies there.
Who will he make enemies with in the next few days?
He's not a child anymore; he's a father himself. He can't possibly be so reckless as to deliberately cause trouble.
So what's going on?
"Sister-in-law." Fu Yatong nudged Lin Yuyao, making her momentarily dazed.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although Grandpa has been in Nancheng, he has many old friends there and can talk to them. My brother will be fine."
"Mm," Lin Yuyao responded, but seeing that Fu Yatong's expression was also not good, she did not dare to delve into the topic.
She's not part of that circle, so she can't be of any help in this kind of situation.
If she loses her composure, it will only cause them more trouble.
No matter how much I try to comfort myself, I can't achieve true peace.
I woke up early the next morning and went next door to see that my grandfather and the others had already gotten up, and Fu Wen was packing his luggage.
Besides clothes and other everyday items, she also saw him stuff two guns and several magazines into his bag.
Is it that serious?
Lin Yuyao was startled.
Fu Yatong quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, Grandpa already has guards around him, like Brother Wen. These things are provided to him according to the rules, and he takes them with him wherever he goes."
She didn't understand, and she didn't know if what she said was true.
However, she had indeed heard Fu Huaiyi mention before that Fu Wen was a guard by her grandfather's side, the kind who received a government salary.
Staying by his grandfather's side was not only his own wish, but also his job.
I wonder if his things will be confiscated after a complete gun ban in a few years.
"Ya Tong, you've packed your bags too? Are you going too?"
"Yes." Fu Yatong tried her best to appear playful so as not to worry her.
"I've never been there before, so this is a good opportunity to go and see the Forbidden City or something. I brought my camera, and I'll take pictures of you later."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Okay, then... then take a few more pictures."
"no problem."
Lin Yuyao's smile faded after they left.
The housekeeper, who seemed to know something, asked her with some concern, "Miss Lin, is the master... alright?"
"It's alright. Work-related matters are rather complicated, and we don't understand them, so don't ask. Just take good care of the child."
She went about her business as usual, and she was the least likely to panic.
Lin Yuyao had no idea how serious the matter was.
It's just a fight; it wouldn't be a big deal for an ordinary person.
A fight between two people is just a matter of each side being equally at fault; if anything really happens, it's just a matter of money.
But in that kind of place, with that kind of status, nobody can really say what's going on.
And... it's not even certain whether a fight will actually break out.
He's not like he was when he was young and impetuous in school anymore...
Wait, when we were in school?
She vaguely remembered that Fu Huaiyi, Yi Yunshuo, or perhaps others, had ganged up on a student from Kyoto who seemed to be of high status.
Could it be him?
……
"Yuyao, Huaiyi hasn't returned yet?"
Ye Lian has now successfully joined the company, wearing a red armband and spending her days supervising the cleanliness of the cafeteria.
However, she felt that just keeping an eye on the cafeteria wasn't enough work, so she would occasionally help the cafeteria ladies pick vegetables and chat with them.
The cafeteria staff did try to bribe her, attempting to fob her off with some mediocre dishes, but they stopped after she scolded them twice with a dark expression.
Her attention was drawn to her work, so when she asked about Fu Huaiyi, it was just a casual inquiry.
Indeed, my son-in-law hasn't been back for a long time.
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly, "They said there's a lot of work to do, and it'll be a while before we get back to work."
"Oh, it was supposed to take half a month, but it's been...it's been a month already, hasn't it?"
Has it been a month?
Lin Yuyao calculated the time and said, "It seems like it's been about a month."
Before Ye Lian could say anything more, Lin Yuyao spoke up first.
"By the way, Mom, now that you're at work, my sister-in-law is all alone at home. Can she manage on her own?"
Why won't it work?
"What if something happens and there's no one to help? I'm not short of money right now, do you think we should spend some money to hire someone to help us?"
Ye Lian said, "You underestimate your sister-in-law. She's not some pampered city girl; she's a country girl who grew up in the countryside. She's very capable. Not only can she take good care of your nephew, but she's also turned over several plots of land in the yard to plant vegetables."
